back now

enough of all the sentimental tacky crap...back to the day to day life stuff.

i couldn't help but be homesick, no one can fault me with that, but now i'll go back to living life. and right now, life is here. i just have to keep telling myself "lauren, you don't *live* in canada anymore." as soon as people at work stop asking me "so did you want to come back? i bet you didn't want to come back. is it horrible being back?" i'll start to feel more normal.

i went to see "good night, and good luck" tonight. i was actually kind of surprised that i enjoyed it in a weird documentary with george clooney kind of way. it made me never want to turn on the television again unless i was watching the news or sport. when i did live in canada, i didn't really watch all that much television at all, but since i've moved here my habits have changed.

maybe it's because the television is the main focal point in our living room. maybe it's because it's so big you can't help but stare at it. most likely it's because i haven't always had the internet at home to entertain me.

anyway, the movie is worth a view.

we're currently in the middle of a heat wave, which i'm absolutely loving apart from the fact that there are hundreds of sweaty miserable children about everyday. bring on the thunderboomers!
